Butler's Pantry- almost there!

Here are some pre-Thanksgiving shots of the Butler's Pantry.  We painted the yellow, and were waiting for the floors to be finished before adding in the cabinetry.   It was as SUPER tight fit getting them in there... but they did it!

The window trim still needed to be installed.

I quickly got to decorating it- the fun part!  I put canning jars & collectible tins & bottles up on the very top.  I was worried that there wouldn't be enough room up there for displaying stuff, when we needed to lower the ceiling for the stove hood to vent outside, but there's plenty!

We're missing some top trim.
Not sure what (if anything) we're going to do about that!

I went ahead and decorated the top shelf!

I finally get to put out the canister set that I had bought at a NYC flea market about 10 years ago!  The center of the painted flowers are yellow- almost like it was planned!

I'm still fussing with the upper cabinets... figuring which patters & stuff to put in there.  I'm sure that's something that's going to change every season.

Here's a last shot that my sister-in-law took on Thanksgiving Day.  The window trim was installed the day before- which meant I had to re-clean to get the dust up, but I was very excited that it was finished for our guests to see!

I love the little tiffany-style lamp in there.  My mother-in-law bought it for me as a gift.  It has fruit on it, so seems perfect for this spot.  At night, I love having it on all by itself- just the right amount of light for a warm glow that leaks into the kitchen & dining room!
